Noarlunga Aquatic Centre will close for around a year from Saturday 5 July to enable a $10.8 million refurbishment.


The City of Onkaparinga has confirmed the last day of public access to the centre – including the pool and gym – will be Friday 4 July.


Mossop Construction + Interiors has been awarded the contract to undertake the upgrade, which is jointly funded by the City of Onkaparinga and a $5.4 million contribution from the federal government’s Thriving Suburbs Program.


The refurbishment works will include:

  • replacing the roof and ceiling
  • a new pool liner
  • installing a new solar system
  • updating the water filtration and disinfection plant
  • painting and cosmetic updates
  • separating the lagoon pool from the main pool
  • improving pool accessibility with a new ramp



City of Onkaparinga Mayor Moira Were says while the temporary closure will inconvenience users, the investment into the centre’s future will ensure it continues to serve the community for many years to come.


“We’ve been keeping the centre’s users up to date about the potential closure date, and one of our priorities is ensuring a smooth transition so they can stay healthy and active,” she says.


“This includes allowing the centre’s gym members to continue their fitness routines at the Seaford, Hub or Aldinga Recreation Centres, and providing pool users with a list of alternative aquatic facilities and the services they provide.”
